new house mysterious NIBCO valve or bib cap in patio

thanks so much for responding DannyT. I think you are probably correct.... its probably water. would you recommend (obviously at my own risk :-) ) i try to remove the cap with a pipe wrench to see if water comes out? If so, do you think i'll be able to recap it?

if it is a new house you should call the builder and make them fix it or have the plumber fix it. it is soldered on and you would need a torch andyou also have to turn the water off and drain the water out to unsolder it. do not twist it or pull on it. call the builder
